A gender where the individual is neutral / enby but not in the conventional human way, but in a celestial, out of this world way, as if a star were a neutral / enby.
IMAGE ID. 3 rectangular flags with 11 stripes. The first and last lines are thiner than the others, aswell as the middle stripe. The stripes are, in order: black, light pastel yellowish green, light turquoise, teal, dark teal, light turquoise, teal, light pastel yellowish green, black. END OF ID.

︵︵︵︵︵︵★ ꒱ explanations :
୨୧ • a gender where ones identify with every genders that are not fully boy, but still boy. Like libramasculine, boyflux, bxy, demiboy, neoboy, paraboy, semiboy, and so on, all at once! Of course, nothing forbids you to fluctuate between them aswell. Similar to boyflux, where one experiences different levels of boygenders, exept here it is specifically being all the boygenders rather than different levels of boyhood.
︵︵︵︵︵︵★ ꒱ meanings :
The black lines represent the genderless, agender parts of one's identity. The light pastel yellow is the complexity of one's identity. The green is for multigender individuals. The teal represents boyhood/boygenders of all kind. The dark teal represents the different layers of one's identity and lastly, the middle stripe is about unity.

Using the alchemical symbol for sulfur as a nonbinary symbol the way Mars and Venus represent male and female. (original post about that here)
[ID: Three versions of a pride flag that has four horizontal stripes of yellow, teal, red, and black.
The first is just the stripes of the flag itself.
The second version has two overlapping sulfur symbols, with an upward pointing triangle above a cross, with small diamonds at each horizontal arm of the cross.
The last version has a single sulfur symbol with a heart inside.
End ID.]
Recopying what I already wrote for the Internet Archive:
A flag for nonbinary people who are attracted to nonbinary people. This attraction does not need to be exclusive, it is meant to be inclusive, the way "men loving men" includes all men who love men, and "women loving women" includes all women who love women, even if they're also attracted to other genders.
These symbols can be adapted for a flag for nonbinary people who are exclusively attracted to nonbinary people if you would like!
This flag is called called "sulpherian", or "sulpheric" because I earlier decided to use the alchemical symbol for sulfur as a nonbinary symbol, and this flag's colors were chosen to match: Sulfur is yellow, burns blue, and melts into blood red. Sulfur in alchemy represents both fire, and the soul.
Many people shorten "nonbinary loving nonbinary" to "nln" or "xlx", and either of those can be used as well.
I wanted a nonbinary symbol that was not connected to the male or female symbols, but as something that can stand on its own, that is distinct and easy to remember and that most people should be able to draw so they can make their own art with it.
I've provided a blank version of the flag, along with versions with connected nonbinary symbols, and a single symbol with a heart on the inside, along with the files for those symbols, and icon sized versions for use online.
These flags, like all the flags I create, are Public Domain, so you can use them for literally anything you want, no credit or permission needed. The only thing I ask is that, when you share it online, please include an image description so that blind and other disabled people who need IDs can be included in your posts or art.

The HD versions of these flags and symbols can be downloaded from the internet archive here.
Included are versions with diamonds rather than triangles, because I was distracted when I started making these last night and for some reason didn't remember the sulfur symbol is a triangle instead of a diamond until literally 50 minutes ago when I was typing this post the first time lol. Either can be used :P
The web archive page includes some free icons you can use, and other stuff with this flag!
y'know i just love wuvsbian's nb bi flag and all the times i've seen it used (especially on nb-n-bi's blog)...
but like...
this one is just too stunning and gorgeous for me not to use every time. i'm glad that alternative option exists for people who don't like neon pastel gradients, but this is the one i've always known and it's the one for me. dw though i always use wuvsbian's flags for like pretty much the rest of all their(?) concepts
The original flag was created in 2014 so it’s had a lot of time to become the “official” nonbinary flag. Because of this I am in no way suggesting we must replace the old flag, I don’t even think I would have that power if I tried, I simply made this version for my own uses. HOWEVER, anyone is free to use this version of the flag, no need to credit me (unless you want to). so make all the icons/merch you want with this, if you feel inspired to do so.
Additionally, if you want to use this post as a bouncing off point for your own redesign, feel free. Though I like this version better it still feels imperfect to me, and if you’ve got a helpful idea for further improvement I’d welcome it!
info about why I redesigned it/why this version is better imo under the cut:
original version for reference:
Reasons why I don’t like the old flag:
- the design feels unbalanced. Change the flag to greyscale and you’d see what I mean, the top two stripes are literally identical in brightness. One key aspect in good graphic design is keeping your design recognizable even in black and white, because our eyes notice contrast first, and then color. This is why the shades in the original feel off and unprofessional, imo.
-the colors just don’t go well together. Yellow and purple are complementary colors, meaning they are on opposite ends of the color wheel. In some compositions this could work, but here it just feels like the design isn’t uniform, like as if it’s just random colors thrown together with no thought put into the aesthetic. Honestly I think that might have literally been the case, with meaning prioritized over style.
Things about the old flag that I like/wanted to keep:
-The meanings of the stripes. If you have forgotten or were unaware, heres what the the stripes mean:
Yellow: genders outside of the binary
White: people with many/all genders
Purple: genders that are a mix of male and female
Black: people without gender
I really like having all of these meanings in the flag, in order to include the full range of nonbinary experiences, and wanted to incorporate the old meaning into the new flag as well!
-The number of stripes. With as many pride flags as there are it’s important to keep each one recognizable. One big way to do that is by the number of stripes. The old nonbinary flag is recognized as having four stripes. I wanted to keep that in the new design as well, so it wouldn’t become too unrecognizable
Ok, bringing it all together: the changes I made and why:
-Switched the positions of the purple and “yellow” stripes. My thought process here was to switch the stripe order from: light, light, medium, dark, to: dark, light, medium, dark. What this does is create more contrast in the design by framing the lightest stripe with two darker stripes on either side. Additionally, keeping the very darkest stripes at the top and bottom of the flag frames the entire design, adding more balance. No more out of place black stripe at the bottom, now it actually fits the design! lol
-Changed the yellow to an orange hue. Orange isn’t a complementary color to purple, but it is a near-compliment. Anyone who’s worked with color will tell you that tho its difficult to get complimentary colors to look nice together, near-compliments almost always do. However, most importantly, orange can still fit the meaning of being outside the binary, so the original purpose of the stripe isn’t lost.
-Changed the brightness/saturation of the stripes. This was in part to help out my first bullet point about contrast, but also so it’s no longer near-eyestrain, and the palette actually feels like it works together!
In conclusion:
imo the new flag is still recognizable as the nonbinary flag. The number of stripes and the colors are still reminiscent of the old flag, so there should be minimal confusion should the new flag be used. People will still see it as the nonbinary flag! However, by adjusting the colors slightly and switching around the placement of the stripes I feel that I’ve created something more aesthetically pleasing, and also more professional. Again, feel free to use this design, credit isn’t necessary (but it would be appreciated). And happy pride month!!
